The rest of Beware the Batman season 1 aired on Toonami (during bat hours Saturday nights on Adult Swim) and I'm really getting into it. Here is why The Bat thinks it's a solid series.7. Alfred is bad-assLike a CGI Jason Statham with Acromegaly.6. Lesser featured charactersTatsu Yamashiro/Katana is sort of the answer to a non morally ambiguous Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Lady Shiva to Talia al Ghul, and Anarky is . . . creepy.5. Batman is a true detectiveMore Denny O'Neil influence, which I prefer over the Frank Miller-inspired animated movies.4. Character developmentBTB has more of a chronology compared to Batman: The Animated Series -- more time spent fleshing out each hero/anti-hero/villain.3. Barbara Gordon, aka 'Oracle'Oh, she is just so cool! Kind of serves as the 'Robin' in this series; in other words, saves the day when Bats is in deep stuff.2. Good mix of villains and actionOkay, some episodes are admittedly dull (even BTAS had its share). I don't know if it's ending with season one, but I can see things escalating in Gotham City -- this is a young Batman, and Batman creates villains. A couple villains I think would start to fit in this universe are Riddler/Nigma and later on, Bane (do it like the New 52 Bane) -- because eventually Batman needs to be tested mentally and physically. Of course, no Dark Knight universe is complete without The Joker, but one can dream . . .1. BatmanBeware the Bat does the difficult task of highlighting the caped crusader instead of his flashy villains. It's a good Bruce Wayne and Batman story. It's not voiced by Kevin Conroy, and it doesn't need to be.Beware the Batman does have most of its scenes at night (even for a Batman show); which was probably one of the reasons it didn't perform well as a Saturday morning cartoon. On the other hand, The Bat happens to be a very big fan of the theme song.
